Just how much of a "big deal" was Fires of Heaven back in the day? - Page 3

I didn't raid classic, and was on a different server (Tunare). But yeah, FoH got noticed and Furor came off as the biggest dick in a pack of dicks (as was true of many other "top" guilds and their leaders.) At the same time, the post quoted above, arrogant as it was/is, was not as extreme in its arrogance as the shitty game design he was reacting to was extreme in its shittiness. I never saw anything generate that level of anger/unhappiness/nerdrage on live until years later when the GoD expansion drove many of the competitive raider types to WoW, from which most never returned.

I'm pretty sure Rogean was in Fires of Heaven. Every server had a top guild, FoH was the top guild of top guilds, along with Afterlife. They had a lot of recognizable names and became most famous for their forums.

I played Torvo LIVE. FoH used to farm the top guilds on ALL servers for the "hardcore" players. You could transfer your character to their server. ( items and pp were not transferable at the time.) They would promise to give you PP to match your current funds. Would equip you with end game raid gear within a month. It was required that you dual box at the time, so if you couldn't play 2 toons....

FoH was the most hard core American guild during LIVE. IMHO.

You could easily transfer gear and plat just by going legends for a month. For a while I was the top geared bard in the top guild on Firiona Vie where nothing was no-drop. The guild was run by one of the biggest cash sellers in the game. Pretty much a revolving door of characters getting geared, getting sold, going to legends and transferring to other servers. I sold my bard for 1500 at the time fully elemental geared with a lot of rare items like mask of tinkering and flayed barbarian skin, etc.

Isn't rogean like 22 years old? I doubt he was raiding with FoH when he was 9, but who knows...

umm Triton of povar, first into VT, kind of a big deal.....

leader of FoH went on to help with WoW too, so yea, a pretty big deal imo if you attract designers from blizzard because of how good you play a different game.

Of course the most enjoyable update/frontpage was Legacy of Steel with Tigole.

Didn't Furor play a pally originally? and got the first fiery avenger and have personal in game congratulations by Aradune? I seem to remember that, and that account being banned for duping, then the next character actually being Furor.

FoH may have been the best guild, but Legacy of Steel with Tigole was much more awesome to read.
